The only way to tell current counterfeits from the original is to look at the
matrix number on the runout grooves of the record. The matrix number has been
scratched out on the counterfeit, whereas it is neatly printed on the original.
It is almost impossible to distinguish the real insert from the counterfeit,
so be careful.
Warning
The information is believed to be accurate as of February 1999. However, I
can't guarantee that more sophisticated counterfeits won't appear in the
future. Neither can I be sure that there aren't other variations that are
currently undocumented. Take care when buying records that have been (or may
have been) counterfeited.
